Clutch ratchet = fixed......Literaly!
ive been pissing about with it for weeks now. So took it out for the 300th time today to see what else i could do.
I found that i could fix it so the auto adjuster wouldn't work, but still alow for adjustment if and when the time came.
Drilled two holes and put some bolts through, they are up against the pawl bit of the ratchet and effectivly fix the ratchet in one position. Some carefull mesuring was required to get it right.
Took it on a short test drive and its working well, has a very 'direct' feel now. Will give it a longer run tomorrow and fingers crossed that will be the last time i have to f**k about with it for a while..........

Right update time............
One of the aux belt pulleys has been squealing for some time on start up but just recently it got worse. Decided to put track time on hold and pull out of combe and sort it.
This envolves alot of work as im going to change the cambelt, looking for my missing horses, and finaly ditch the air con compressor and simplify the aux set up.
Dave came around again today and after we had done some jobs on his we ripped the front end off.
Look at the amount of pointless crap they hang off the side of these engines!
Thats better....
All the bits removed.....
Add up to this much!
Here is the new mount courtesy of a laguna
And a Volvo 440 has kindly donated its adjuster
The intention was to ditch the pas pump and switch to a saxo electric pump. Still not 100% sure on which route im taking but plans are afoot, more on that soon.
Decided to time up the engine to check if it was out, as i suspect this could be the problem. Sure enuff it was. Will be changing the lot soon.

Glad to hear you've more than likely got to the bottom othe missing horses didn't realise changing the cambelt meant stripping so much off!!!! Mega saving of 10kg you'd really struggle to find that anywhere else with the car already so stripped.
This car must be such a weapon!!

Good luck with the missing bhp...
I had my Cambelt changed this week properly and the car goes like a rocket compared to when it went in!!!
I hope you have the same result :approve:

Aye I reckon that'll be well worth it, maybe about the same as putting the battery in the boot

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Made a decision(sp) on the pas. The saxo electric idea is out. It was a easy choice when u work out the weight of the saxo pumps (very heavy) vs the cost of the pump vs the ease of installation
Picked up a different alternator and pas pump today, fits my new brackets without modification. all i need is a custom pipe adapter made. will look into this later this week. Should make it a very good, reliable and cheap conversion. Pics and details soon
The standard 172 pas pump did fit, but the pump pulley would of needed spacing out to line up correctly, posibly making it a bit fragile. I wasnt happy with the alternator, it would of needed a bit of modding to get it to fit and then the adustment wasnt the best. Changing both means it all fits spot on and will be cheap and easy to put right should anything go wrong in the future

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
update..
Its going back together, alltho i still need some bits and peices the big stuff is done.
I took the panel out on the bulkhead hoping to get the aircon evaporator out, this was my second attempt at doing this and i gave up again, Lol. Its staying put, it probably weighs very little as its all ali. Could of got a non a/c heater unit but it would of been better to do it earlier in the build. Still i managed to cut the pipes off shorter to make it even neater.
After that i ripped the bulk head insulation off as the heat shield had fallen off it. Might need to make something up to protect the pipes now tho.
Yesterday i stripped the cambelt covers off to make a start on the belt change.
Tip-ex ahoy!
I bought myself the special Reno tool for locking the cams. Its a good tool, altho i took a grinder to it to get it to fit a little better.
All apart and ready for the new belt and pulleys
Built back up after resetting the cam timing using the correct locking tools and not a tube of liquid paper
I had to hear it run, even tho its not fully together. I just fitted the bare minimum to get it running.
Started first time on the button and ticks over lovely. Didnt want to run it for long as there is no colant in it but I gave it a little rev and man does it feel different. Its so eager to rev, sounded like a rabid dog barking!

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
I always planned to relocate my ecu at some point and now seamed as good a time as any. I cut the battery holder bits off the gearbox mount and led it down.....
Didnt like it there so i took it out of the brackets and fitted it to the side of the strut.
There were already holes and mount points in the correct places here and it fitted very easily. I only needed to give the loom a little slack. Much more room now for future induction mods and the brackets weigh 1.5kgs! Lol
along the lines of future induction I modded the front bumper and n/s headlamp support....
Not sure if i want the drivers side to match yet. Its broken on that side so it would either be repaired when i get it painted or cuttout to match the passenger side.
Opinions??
Also yesterday i noticed that the knock sensor was broken. This could be a part cause of the power loss.

burp would have been nice to see the cams locked at the other end as well, as for a picture referance.
